108th Power of Paint Party: Anatomy of my Chairs
Welcome Paint Lovers!!!
My goal for last week was to get our kitchen table and chairs functional before the kiddos went back to school. Weeks ago I started by removing the white paint from my table top and staining it a deep espresso brown and then moved onto painting our chairs.
You can read about the homemade chalk paint recipe I used on the chairs here.
To finish them off I used some wax, but I couldn’t decide if I wanted to give them a light sanding. I’m sure I’ll distress them and beat my kiddos to it.
I recovered the chair seats with a canvas drop cloth (cheap, durable and neutral).
I’m working on a little window makeover in the space & then I’ll show it to you all together.
When I originally scored them FREE on Craigslist years ago they were a light honey-stained wood…
then they went through a black phase…
and now they’re feeling a little blue…
Who knows how they’ll feel in another 2 years.
So what have you been painting??? Anything in these shades?
